Oh, I love the curling of your hair, gives me the greatest peace I've ever known [Caleb]
Gabe has never had to move house before. His parents had settled in their seven-bedroom dream home long ago and told Gabe over and over how they'd bought a condemned property for cheap and revamped it year by year until they'd been able to move in with their eight children at the time. It had been blood, sweat, and tears but they owned the property outright.
The fact that Gabe is renting, that he'll owe every month, would be their nightmare for him, to say nothing of the fact that he's living with an unmarried woman as well as his boyfriend. That would give them both heart attacks.
It's a good thing they'll never know, he thinks as he putters through the boxes in what will be his bedroom. There isn't much he has to unpack; the largest item is the bed that Caleb's boss sent over. A big queen mattress that's bigger than any bed Gabe has ever had all to himself but he supposes he knows it won't really be all to himself. Caleb will sleep there too, with or without Gabe in it.
Gabe walks around the mattress on its box spring again and then another time before finally letting himself flop forward onto the unmade bed and closing his eyes. At least for this afternoon, it's all his.
